Several people have asked about shipments here in the U.S. but why does it take even longer to report discrepancies for shipments made to overseas distribution centers?
The time is caused by the lead times it takes to ship merchandise overseas. The discrepancies arent found until the merchandise is received at the distribution center. This is usually 30 to 45 days after it ships from ConUS. 13. Our sales people handle store claims for damaged merchandise and take care of the product. There is little, if any, involvement by AAFES personnel, yet we are charged the same rate as if they were doing all the work. Why not eliminate the charges for suppliers who have products being picked up at the store. AAFES store operators are still involved and required to follow our procedures for handling damaged/defective/returned merchandise. The handling charge is a standard industry practice if the supplier wants merchandise returned. The cost is contained in the AAFES Retail Agreement (ARA). The charge can be avoided if an allowance is negotiated in lieu of returns on the ARA or Trade Allowance Agreement form. 14. Why cant we get all the information we need to add
